The Fortress of Procrastination

We should ban life jackets and other flotation devices. They only encourage risky behavior. The only 100% effective way to prevent drowning is total abstinence from going in the water.

Target has pledged $120,000 in cash to promote the legalization of homosexual marriage.

Just saw this in an email from one of my professors who is an adviser for the Lesbian and Gay Vet Med Association at school. Target’s website says it will donate 100% of T-shirt sales from customers during the month of June to Family Equality Council. 

See the t-shirts here.

The big thing about it though is that this has been going around anti-gay organizations, and they’re rallying people to complain to the higher-ups at Target and even boycott their store, just like what happened with the Girl Scouts when they allowed a trans* girl join.

So we need to try to support Target in this if we can. If you can’t go buy a shirt, you can email them at press@target.com to show your support. It will only take a few minutes, and it’s for a cause that I think is really near and dear to a lot of us here. Signal boost please? I can’t reach enough people with this on my own.

pay your half or put out: advice for women on a date

jsohcable:

I recently made a post that blew up big time, about how a woman on a date should put out as their way of contributing something/anything interesting to the night.  women went hysterical no wait that’s redundant.  women completely lost their shit at this idea that they needed to contribute anything to a date aside from their presence (and in some cases, they won’t even provide that).

I figure, maybe it should be laid out what it is women should do to be worthwhile dating material to all the dunces out there, because apparently not very many of these ladies realize the truth about interhuman relationships or evolutionary psychology and such.  if they’re under the age of 29 then it’s understandable, but in the information age there isn’t much excuse for not learning.  so I’m gonna try and fire off a few quick pointers before I go back to my own personal interests (ie going my own way).

1. no one cares about your facebook or twitter posts, and they sure don’t care about what your girlfriends did today/this week/ever.  do not ever bring these up unless someone asks.

2. make sure to ask him how he feels about kids or marriage.  men love hearing women ask them about a future wedding/divorce on a first date, and it’s a great big red indicator that you are future marriage potential.

3. if you’re going to pretend like you share the same interests as him, at least know something about his interests before you blindly leap off that cliff.  no, breaking bad is not a reality tv show about women in NYC, halo did not invent first person shooters, harley davidsons are not the only motorcycle manufacturer, and there are indeed some perfectly good hiking and camping spots within 50 miles of us right now.  if you’re completely lost on what he’s talking about, you can admit that IF you give him a chance to explain.

4. don’t bring up your interests unless you want him to zone out for awhile.  sometimes I like to be lost in my thoughts, that’s because I have an imagination.  I am comfortable in my own skin and am not trying to constantly out dress or out perform my friends every moment of every day.

5. going out to the club does not count as a date.  he doesn’t want to be there just to enjoy the experience, clubs epitomize everything that sucks about modern american society: purposeless music, people crowded around who only care about themselves, and pussy pedestalizing.

one last thing: if you go out on a date and you don’t pay your share of the bill, you are not a feminist, doesn’t matter if you call yourself one or not, a smart guy never listens to the words of a feminists but instead studies her actions.  if you go out on a date, self identify as a feminist, don’t pay your share of the bill, and don’t pleasure your date afterward, you are a sociopath.  a lot of women are naturally sociopaths.  no, not just feminists, women.  socons, tradcons, hard leftists/communists, whatever.

it used to be accepted that people went on dates to eventually pair bond and form a couple for life.  now with hypergamy and serial monogamy (jumping from one partner to the next without pause) women have destroyed their ability to pair bond to one person.  marriage to these things is no longer an option.  fucking them won’t be an option soon either, but for now go nuts.  just don’t threaten to murder men for pointing out these facts, that’s retarded.

First of all, stop acting like only women responded to your post. Men responded as well and are equally disgusted by your implications that men need sex to be satisfied with a date from a woman. You sound goddamn ridiculous.

I’ve never met a feminist who expected a male date to pay for her, unless it was an expensive place, and he made more money, then he’d better fucking pay for her if he wants to go somewhere outside of her budget. That’s fucking common sense. You don’t go somewhere outside of another partner’s budget and expect them to pay. And you know what, maybe even the conservatively priced places are outside of a woman’s budget, because (in the U.S. at least) women make less to every man’s dollar, and usually have more expenses due to there being no federal laws against charging women more for the same services (insurance, hair care products, etc.). If you want a woman who can pay for a date, because sex is not an obligation, shut the fuck up, then how about you start calling up your government representatives about pay and pricing discrimination.

Also, your pointers? They do not suggest to me you actually go on dates with many women. They sound like female stereotypes of what men who don’t know any woman besides their mother think women are like. Either you only date women who fit under a single stereotype (and if so, pull your head from your ass, broaden your horizons and maybe you’ll see women are not of one make. Why even bother dating if you’re only going to date one type of person, and it’s not even the sort of personality that’s attractive to you) or you date very little and get most of your experiences from media, and that’s what you think women all like.

Honestly, I’m leaning towards the latter. Dear god, I don’t date and I still know guys come in more than just the stereotype of the jackass white boy that does dumb shit for the internet and laughs at fart jokes.

Does anyone else have the theory that Morrigan’s dark ritual is somehow going to offer some kind of third option in DA3 like saving the circle offers for Conner?

he bought you dinner, you do owe him sex

jsohcable:

otherwise why did you go on the date?  he didn’t do it to spend time with you, you’re a shrill dullard.  he doesn’t give a shit about your AA hire career, he actually earned his position.  he went on the date because he wants sex.  you went on the date because you’re a conceited gold digger.

the revolution is coming ladies, less and less men are putting up with your intolerable behavior and hysterics.  you brought this on yourselves, don’t blame me for pointing it out.  you poisoned the waters, and men aren’t drinking from them anymore.

If you expect sex because you pay for dinner, you’re obviously not looking for a girlfriend. Granted, I don’t think a prostitute could be convinced to touch someone with your sort of attitude.

The only person you’re hurting is yourself when you spew this shit. You can talk all you want about this supposed ‘revolution’, but guess what? Women don’t need men to take care of them. If a guy doesn’t want to go on a date with a women because he’s an emotionally stunted asshole, it won’t end her world.

This may be news to you, but from the observations I have made of women who date men, they’re fairly independent. Perhaps even more independent than the guys. My female friends more often than not know how to better handle guy problems (breaks ups, unrequited crushes, etc.) than the guys I know can handle the reverse.

Also, to call women gold diggers implies they are after men with a lot of money to cater to them. Maybe I’m assuming here, but I’m confident that anyone on tumblr whining about the awfulness of women has not amassed a worthwhile fortune to ‘gold dig.’ More likely, you’re at a salary to live comfortably, but a patron of fine dinning and expensive cars, you are not.

I don’t know what this says about you, but I have never known a guy who says this shit and isn’t either a rapist or an abuser.
